Tomorrow, February 4 at 8 PM EST, I am happy to host EVO Minecraft MOOC 2019 on the East Coast Miners server. We are running 1.13.2 and the server address is server.eastcoastminers.org. Student miners may be available to show us around. If not we will use warps to see what we can.

If you have a child between the ages of 6 and 16 consider helping them sign up! http://www.eastcoastminers.org/

Greetings everyone, welcome to Week 4 in #evomc19.


Greetings everyone, welcome to Week 4 in #evomc19. As typically happens in MOOCs the 4th stage is clustering, where community members find their most like-minded colleagues and settle into projects amongst themselves. This seems to be happening here, as in the Riverbend community pictured below. This is also reflected in our Live Events schedule, where it may appear that things are tapering off, but in fact the worker bees have found the times they like to work together and have been popping onto the server at routine times to continue their builds. This doesn't mean we won't be declaring events. We'll be arranging more shortly.

Meanwhile, let us know if you want a guided tour of what's going on, or help getting started (never too late in EVO Minecraft MOOC). Feel free to join us, and keep an eye on our events page for new on what's coming up, http://missions4evomc.pbworks.com/w/page/130258521/2019_Live_Events.

Most importantly, if you want to join in, let us hear from you.

Collecting and manufacturing materials useful for the construction of a common project is a very interesting aspect of the use of "survival mode". It is a new application of the word "sharing". #evomc19

Could someone explain how Dak did his "in flight" recording during my extreme survival adventure?

Could someone explain how Dak did his "in flight" recording during my extreme survival adventure? I'd like to capture some of this 3rd person observer perspective video for subsequent analysis.

I still have the three 1st person recordings made by Jane, Mattie, and Emanual (Rose) during last year's EVOMC session, but I've had a hard time getting them precisely sync'ed and the resulting combined file size has been huge. I still think there is something analytically important to be gleaned from 1st person video, but since conversation analysts usually work with 3rd person ("god perspective") video recordings, maybe I should start with that.

Dak's video was great, but because we were such an unruly mob running all over he had to move around a lot. Also there were too many voices and too many different conversations going on a one to be usable for my CA purposes.

Ideal would be to record (from a more or less fixed location slightly above the participants) interaction during a building activity with at most 3 participants.

This is about the best I've been able to do so far.
